Checking some warnings from Google Webmaster, i saw that non existent wpForo urls are DISPLAYING a 404 (not found) BUT the response header shows

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

HTTP/1.0 200 OK (and stuck to a neverending loading page)

This is an old problem, that was fixed at some point and now it is back.

and goes to a semi-finished page.

Non existent pages (all of them) should return a clear 404 MESSAGE and also a full http 404 header response.

If there is n such page then there is no chance this page is indexed by google. so this kind of issues should be very rare. For example, here on wpForo we don't have such errors on google.

In any case, I agree, this should be 404 error. We'll take a look on this issue again.
